LFX Mentorship
Hyperledger - Make Solidity Language Server Functional
About the Organization
A language server is what makes it possible to rich editing like to go to definition or code completions in source code editors. The Solang Solidity Compiler does have a language server, but it is very rudimentary. The aim of this mentorship is to make the language server much more complete, will make developing Solidity code using this language server will be a much greater developer experience. During this mentorship you will learn how language servers work, and you'll need to walk the parsed Solidity abstract syntax tree in various ways to for example find where a variable is defined (Go to definition), or to find all usages of a variable (Find all references), or find the type definition (Go to type definition). This means walking a complex data structure, and understanding how source code is represented as a abstract syntax tree, which is the result of parsing and semantic analysis, the first stage of an compiler.
